US, March 11, 2010 - Kim Bauer is turning towards comedy. Elisha Cuthbert, best known for her role as Jack Bauer's daughter on 24, has been cast as the lead female in ABC's comedy pilot Happy Endings, says the Hollywood Reporter.

The potential series centers on a bride and groom who break up at the altar and then strive to maintain their mutual friendships. Cuthbert recently had a recurring role on The Forgotten, but with that series and 24 (where she returned as a guest star at the start of the season) both unlikely to return, the actress is free to pursue new roles.

Cuthbert, who will play the bride, joins a cast that includes Eliza Coupe (Scrubs) as one of the friends.

I'm sure Elisha wouldn't say you are a bad fan if you did that. It's still because you like her very much as an actress.

Exactly, downloading the episodes is what I'll be doing and if the show is great (which it will be, Elisha's in it for god's sake, LOL) then I'll buy the complete series on DVD or Blu-Ray when it's released.
